KB Home Reviews

We just bought our home and we love it, our PM Bryan made our moving experience much easier he is great, Thanks KB Home!

I enjoyed working with the finance Raul Cunes. He was the best part of the buying experience. We had a good time with the design center. They really were helpful in getting all of what we wanted. We also liked Melena our sales agent. We had some miss communication but in the end she came through.

Best response by construction superintendent.

My husband and I really enjoyed the overall kb home process and going to the design studio was one our favorite parts. Our sales person, was the only time we had any issues on trusting what he said. We've learned to make sure to get answers in writing. The superintendent, customer service rep., and all the various builder companies involved were great to work with and made sure repairs/concerns were resolved. Getting our own inspector for the construction phase was such hassle as we, ended giving up and just pointed out major concerns.

Working with KB but I wish I could say the same about KB Home loans and their underwriting process.

I like my KB townhome a great deal and find that the building is high quality and the supervisor is extremely helpful as I transition through the buying, moving and living process. I am extremely disappointed in KB home loan who sold the loan within two weeks and the Second lending institution sold the loan again. Two months living here and three banks. It’s outrageous that customers have to go through the inconvenience of chasing banks to pay their mortgage. This needs to be rethought and changed to focus on the Customer/buyer experience and not the money grab that comes with the continuous selling of mortgage loans. I have no idea how many more times this loan will be sold. ... More

Process was easy. Small attention to details are lacking (caulking, paint, exterior details, etc). Overall, not bad.

Overall the experience was great! If possible I would go through KB once again. I even am telling family and friends to go through KB.

The sales and lending team were helpful and responsive throughout the buying process. Any issues we found upon move-in were addressed at our first month walkthrough. Energy star certification is a plus.

They guys have beeen great as well as page. Sergio and Juan and all the others that have come assist me.

We were looking forward to moving into something that was just ours and KB made that happen.

Initially customer service is very responsive, but about a month out I am still waiting for a hole in the driveway to be fixed and for my towel racks in my bathrooms to be fixed so that they don’t keep falling off. Also I’ve noticed that after a heavy rain the backyard floods and the drainage is slow, so I’ve been waiting for someone to respond concerning that issue.

After looking at existing and new construction homes in the Lakeland area, we came to the decision to buy a home in Hickory Ranch because of the quality of the homes, no CDD's, the smaller size of the community. So far we are overall satisfied with our decision, enjoying our new home and neighbors. We are still waiting on a few post-construction issues to be resolved with moving of sprinkler heads, resolving yard drainage issues and a few minor things, but all other issues have been resolved in a timely fashion. We are confident these issues will be resolved for us and our neighbors who share some of the same yard drainage issues. ... More

The construction supervisor got transferred and the construction issues are not addressed, there is no point of contact now.

First time buying a new home from the KB brand. Our previous home purchase was also a new home but from another builder. Needless to say we had some experience on the steps to follow when agreeing to purchase to move in. I must say that KB does have a good quality home and that we are very statisfied.

Pleased with my experience with KB homes

Love the house but had to wait 7 months for the build. Other houses in the neighborhood have gone up much faster. Like KB Home better than other builders in the area.

The house is built with better quality and I do not have any complaints in that perspective. But the communication during the building construction progress could be better. There are a lot of false promises made which affect any individual both mentally and emotionally. It is really hard to change plans with the false promises from the builder.

Overall a good experience with KB!

Good buying experience with sales and escrow.

There were a number of issues with the home and most of them were addressed quickly.

There were a few minor things which weee identified when I did the final walk through which needed attention. I was promised that everything would be made right. I can see now that promise was only good until I completed the homeboy survey sent out. Tony had made sure get a few things fixed before the survey got to me. However, since the survey was submitted, all other things on the list have been quickly forgotten about. As a result, my front door leaked water during a recent heavy storm because the weather stripping was not correctly installed on the front or back doors. Had I not been home at the time of the storm, my entire living room would have been flooded. Please note, part of the carpet did in fact get soaked and I had a huge amount of water to mop up at the entry. I notified Tony about this and he stated that the previous installed of the weather stripping was no longer being used by KB, but he has yet to send anyone to correct this problem. I was also promised a set of blinds for the master bathtub window. The company who was supposed to install them has not delivered yet. There was paint drops on the kitchen cabinets and no one has come to clean them or the sticky glue on the vinyl flooring. I see now that my mistake was in completing the big survey they hounded me about shortly after I closed. If that was all it took for my home’s problems to be ignored so quickly it makes me wonder what will happen if I ever need to file a warrant claim. I don’t like to be constantly calling to make complaints and it should not require such rude behavior to get things made right. It’s don’t know it Tony will even see this review, but this is my last chance to voice my concerns and at least get a message out to other buyers do not be quick to submit your home buyer survey if you have anything thing which was not completed or don’t incorrectly during the construction of your home. Once that survey is in, they will forget you fast ... More

Home buying experience was smooth some issues. I have expressed in other surveys that I took for KB homes. As far as the build once completed there was still some cosmetic issues that were not fixed and some workmanship issues with dry walls and electrical. If you would like a more detailed explanation feel free to contact me via email so that we may set up a phone appointment.

Had our up’s and down’s with closing date that kept changing month to month.

Our experience with the design center was very frustrating. We were unable to get all the upgrades we wanted due to cost restrictions. The building manager ( Brian ) was awesome, he was very responsive and helpful for what ever our needs.
